never lets himself remain long N the /
rear-wlth a nomination FOR Governor. /
lie presents the name Of Col. William
Saunders and urges it in his usual vgor-
Gus and emph &tIc manner. Several 9TH
ers Of the different newspapers Of the /.
State have given the colonel good ma +.
turcd pat on the back since. Ne viii +.
state for the Information CT car readers, .
dat a newspaper nomination for Govern .
or is not quite equal to All election. vi

Wilson AdcHlce.
Is that so? Thank yon. We are
so glad, We had thought all along
for months that Cleveland Vas elect
ed to a second term from what the
newspapers said. We are 50 glad
all the papers say is not always trne.
And we 90 feel so thankful and
grateful for the information from
headquarters that we are almost
tempted to climb tree AMI come
down head foremost singing "Uncle
Ephraim got the coon and gone ON
We are greatly rejoicing that ote
paper at least has snoken out ia
open meeting, and says a new spa, er
nomination is not equal to an cleo
ton. Well, this is a coed sign. 1t
shows that there may be a shadow
Of possibility that the PEOPLE may
have some hand in nominating and
eIecting the next President anu the
next Governor o( this State, Aud
If this shculd turn out to be true,
then D. B, Hill will be nominated and
elected the next President Of the
United States and COL William
Saunders will be nominated and
elected the next Governor Of North
| Carolina. But remember We are so
glad n newspaper nomination is not
equal to an election. And also re-
member that the newspapers have
not nominated Cot, Saunders be-
caase the Wilson Idcaucc, the Kins-
! ton free Press, the Stit- Chr ouic3e ,
and the Tobacco Pl0lH have neither
nominated nor endorsed the nomina
ton Of Col. Saunders. One Of our
esteemed contemporaries SAYS Lc is
all right, if lac only had legs. Now
what use has a governor for legs. We
have never before heard it suggests
ed that legs formed any part of the
qualifications of governor. What
Use are legs to a governor and more
than to other men? We prefer a
head as big as Webster's and a
heart as big as I'll outdoors full of
patriotism TO q pair of legs without
these qualification Alexander
stephens for years occupied a seat
i'll Congress without legs, aAd q
I better representation Georgia never
had We served lii Congress with
